RAIN, WET ROCK and RAPTOR CLOSURES: The sandstone around Moab is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet. Also please ask and be aware of Raptor Closures in areas such as CAT WALL and RESERVOIR WALL in Indian Creek MORE INFO >>>

WET ROCK: Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN MOAB during or after rain.

RAPTOR CLOSURES: Please be aware of seasonal raptor closures at the Cat wall and Reservoir wall. They occur annually from March 31st until August 31st. *Due to the federal hiring freeze in agencies such as the BLM of Monticello, no official closure for 2017 has been issued and the laws which have been put in place in previous years are not being enforced. Please, for the sake of fragile desert ecology, DO NOT CLIMB at stated walls. These raptors return to the same nesting sites every year to raise their nestlings.

This information is a public crowdsourcing effort between the Access Fund,
and Mountain Project.You should confirm closures, restrictions, and/or related dates.

Description

Climb a varied right facing corner to a splitter hand crack that brings you to a 10' offwidth roof. Take advantage of the good rest before committing to the cruxy 8' that follows. Invert, then bust out the roof and around the lip into the squeeze finish.

An exellent route (if you dig inverted OW's) See Bloom Guidebook PG. 127 for further beta...

Location

100' to the right of Walkin' Talkin' Bob, in the same alcove as The Piano.

Gear beta felt a little wonky for the first part and I ended up hanging a bunch of cams before the roof just to get rid of them. The gear I used was 1x blue metolius (for the thin bulge), 1x .5, 1x .75, 1x 1, 2x 2, 1x 3, 1x 5, 2x 6. The climbing up to the roof felt like .10/.10+ but a little weird because the corner is somewhat broken.
